Peacock Flying Southeast is an excellent narrative poem in ancient China, which has profound ideological content and has reached a new height in the breadth and depth of social life. At the same time, it has a variety of artistic techniques, which has had an important impact on later writers with its profound artistry. Liu Lanzhi, the heroine portrayed in the works, occupies a place in the history of China literature. Liu Lanzhi is the victim of a typical tragedy. In the narrative process of the whole poem, the author intentionally or unintentionally strengthens the tragedy of the story to highlight the characters and deepen the theme of the work. This paper tries to discuss this briefly.

First, the contrast and reinforcement at the beginning.

At the beginning of Peacock Flying Southeast, we used the usual awakening technique in China's ancient poems. Generally speaking, the method of arousing is to select related or similar things and things that can reflect the ideological content of the work and put them at the head of the work to set off the characters and highlight the theme. In fact, the rising part is like the first note of a musical composition. It may not directly express the theme, but it can determine the emotional tone of a work. At the beginning of this poem, "Peacock flies southeast and falls in five miles" is like the first low note of a musical composition. Peacock's widowhood shows a kind of sadness and helplessness, and Falling in Five Miles makes people imagine the pain and attachment contained in it. The circuitous flying posture makes people feel sad. Therefore, the first two sentences set a sad tone for the whole poem, which hangs over the whole poem like a misty and humid net, suggesting that the work will tell a tragic story.

Second, strengthening the characterization.

Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Tragedy is to destroy something of value for people to see." Beauty is also a value. In this work, in order to strengthen the tragedy of the story, the author consciously highlights and exaggerates the aesthetic value of the characters when shaping their external images and internal characters. The more the author perfects the characterization or consciously strengthens the valuable things, the more people will feel that the destruction of beautiful things is a sad thing, and the greater the impact of this sad feeling on people's souls, the stronger the tragic effect.

First of all, in shaping the external image of the characters. The description of Liu Lanzhi's external image in this paper focuses on dressing up before being sent back to China. Before dawn, Liu Lanzhi got up and began to pack up carefully. The word "strict makeup" generally introduces that this is a grand makeup, and her dress is bound to present another kind of beauty. "Embroidering my skirt, everything is connected in four or five", from which we can see that this is a careful dressing. "Four or five" shows carefulness and seriousness, and it is a kind of calmness, a calmness to cover up the great sadness inside. "The first step is to tiptoe onto the silk shoes, and the tortoise shell shines on the head. If the waist is flowing, listen to the bright moon 00 1. It means that if you cut the onion root, you will have dani in your mouth. " This article uses a spreading technique, and the application of spreading technique here shows Liu Lanzhi's unique external beauty. From head to toe, from fingers to mouth, every detail shines with beautiful light. Liu Lanzhi at this time is like a fairy. "Delicate steps, chinese odyssey." This is the author's comment, and the dynamic beauty described here just reflects the static beauty of the last article.

In this passage, of course, the author's aesthetic ideal of the characters is exaggerated. This romantic narrative meets the logical requirements of the characters. In the eyes of readers, Liu Lanzhi with excellent internal quality should have such an external image, which meets people's aesthetic requirements. Therefore, it is even more unacceptable to beautify this image, which strengthens people's sense of identity with tragic stories.

Secondly, in the characterization. This work began with Liu Lanzhi's self-report. Through the heroine's self-report, we first feel that what stands in front of us is such a woman: smart, hardworking, knowledgeable, versatile and faithful to love. How can such a woman be sent away for no reason? This self-report not only leads to the story, but also basically determines the heroine's internal personality characteristics.

With the development of the story, the characterization is becoming more and more complete and perfect, and the indomitable personality of the heroine is also constantly strengthened.

If saying goodbye to grandma and sister-in-law also reflects her kindness, courtesy and kindness, then Liu Lanzhi's farewell to Jiao Zhongqing is the full expression of her strong character. "You are like a rock, and my concubine is like Pu Wei. Pu Wei is as tough as silk, and the rock has not turned. " Short words contain a conscious resistance to external pressure.

Refusing to marry the county magistrate and pretending to agree with the satrap's media is the reproduction and natural development of his tough character. When the county official media came to ask, she said: "When Lan Zhi returned, the officials saw Ding Ning and vowed not to leave." . When the satrap media came to ask for it, she felt the social pressure coming on her step by step. Coupled with the accusation and persecution of snobbish brother, Liu Lanzhi felt that survival was an unbearable burden, but she didn't give in to fate, pretending to promise, and her heart was pregnant with the will to die. Death has become a necessity. This is the inevitable result of her unswerving personality development. When Liu Lanzhi saw Jiao Zhongqing again, they both deeply felt the unbearable burden in their lives. In reality, they couldn't love each other, so they vowed to go on together in death. "Meet in the dead, don't go against today's words." So, on the wedding day, Liu Lanzhi, with resentment and helplessness to the world, issued a wail of "I am going to die today, and my soul will die forever", and said goodbye to the world calmly. That's a harsh voice that travels through time and space. When future generations saw a perfect image disappear with resentment and helplessness, deep sympathy and extreme sadness stirred the heart of every beauty lover like a flood.

Third, the contrast in the description of reinforcement

In literary works, in order to show the characteristics of a thing or environment more clearly, the artistic technique of contrast is often used. In order to strengthen its tragedy in Peacock Flying Southeast, the tragic purpose is achieved by comparing the strength of the characters and the environment respectively.

The first is the comparison of personality strength. He, Jiao Mu and Liu formed two kinds of power contrast, but the contrast between these two forces is not a close confrontation, but a weak, pitiful and precious force pursuing freedom and happiness and a powerful feudal patriarchal society. The beginning of confrontation means the defeat of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing. However, in order to strengthen the characters, the author still tries to show their indomitable spirit of resistance. Liu Lanzhi's tenacious character has been described above. Although Jiao Zhongqing's character has its weakness, it is even more valuable to persist in love and die against the world. This also shows that Jiao Zhongqing has a strong side. But the sum of these two forces is still very small relative to the power of the whole society. However, they still use their own strength to resist the heavy pressure of society and even pay the price of their lives. Two beautiful lives disappeared, but the occurrence of this incident showed the preciousness and nobility of the weak life, which naturally strengthened the tragic color of the work.

Secondly, in terms of environmental comparison. The satrap was "happy" after hearing Liu Lanzhi's promise. Immediately asked to determine the wedding date, asked the family to prepare, "speaking fast, like a cloud." Cars, horses, sedan chairs, decorations, bride price and attendants constitute a vivid picture of the wedding banquet. Compared with the noisy and lively environment of the Taishou family, the environment in which Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing met tragically for the last time is in sharp contrast. Sadly, the two reluctantly "where will you go" with tears in their eyes. The contrast between the two different environments of sadness and joy also strengthens the tragedy of the works to some extent.

In short, when we read this excellent poem, if we can pay attention to the strengthening art of the work, it will be of great benefit to grasp the characters and understand the theme of the work.
